Turning Hard Things into Base Instincts

Many people avoid starting their own business or pursuing their dreams because they feel uncertain, lack confidence, or fear failure. This is a common delusion among humans when faced with unknown and challenging situations. However, the key to achieving success is to turn these hard things into base instincts. Base instincts are hard-coded behaviors in our DNA that are automatic and don't require conscious thought. To do this, practice is crucial. By repeatedly doing something and turning it into a habit, it eventually becomes an instinct. This applies to various aspects of life, such as survival instincts and the instinct to procreate. By consistently practicing a specific action, such as revenue-generating activities in business, and turning it into a habit, it will eventually become an instinct, leading to greater success.
